Dear cousins Dear Joyce and Cindy, Dear Cousins (this is true). I am almost certain that you believe That I never think of you. But, how could one forget Two wonderful, lovely, and witty cousins? As near as I have to sisters. For I care so much for the both of you. This message is a simple one That I hope you will never forget. Forever will our family bond Be fixed taut and sternly set. I wish to portray to you both, Those things, To my winged pen, Memory brings. I recall moments of the past, As often many will do. And not long does this last Without memory mentioning something Of the both of you. I have a lot to thank God for, Much more than pen could tell. But, of this matter in particular I give thanks for sharing my youth, With both of you as well. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
